Exercise, Exercise, Exercise

Government guidelines recommend 30 minutes of moderate
exercise five days a week.
The NHS has informed us that “taking a brisk walk, spending some time doing
the gardening or doing a few laps of the local swimming pool on the way home
from work" can all improve health.
However researchers from Brunel and Exeter Universities
said vigorous exercise was best for averting disease.

As a personal fitness trainer, my advice for a basic
weekly exercse rogram would be:

3 exercise sessions of 1 hour. Which includes at least
20 minutes of vigorous exercise. Put these in your
diary every other day, preferably with a friend so
that you are committed.

Running/ skipping/ DVD/ exercise
class/ competitive sport could be included

Also if you are trying to loose weight, aim for 30 minutes
of light to moderate exercise all of the other days.

Brisk walk/ swimming/ gardening

Please also remember that it is important to spend equal
amounts of time doing strength training as well as vigorous
cardio vascular exercise. If you keep toned and
increase your muscle mass this will help reduce your
body fat because you will have increased your metabolism.
